There will be no Grand Prix of Baltimore for IndyCar and the United SportsCar Racing series in 2014 or 2015.

Race On LLC, the promoter of the event, made that announcement Friday during a press conference in Baltimore. The three-day event had been held each of the past three years.

The key issue cited was a scheduling conflict, although the congestion caused downtown by a 2.4-mile street circuit divided local residents. M&T Bank Stadium, which gives up its parking lot for the transporters, has a college football game during Labor Day weekend in 2014; the next year, an American Legion conference at the convention center is the issue.
